  • Summary

  • Those familiar with Jane Austen's classic novel, Pride and Prejudice, will recognize its very first line of narration: "It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife." In the second episode of PRIDE AND PREJUDICE - THE PODCAST, librettist Josie Brown and lyricist-composer Rita Abrams discuss how they bring this phrase to life in the second song in their musical, and why it comes out as a duet between Darcy and Bingley -- with snide asides from Bingley's sister, Caroline.

    In other episodes to follow, Rita and Josie discuss their creative process with each of the songs and how Jane Austen’s wonderful book inspired the placement, pace, and lyrics in this musical.
